can I clarify one thing that I am guessing at. When I have downloaded the source I load it into vpackager, then in the box below it is looking for path to "description file", which file typically is this. I am trying to install dvd::rip, I have gone through and built all dependecies transcode, pango etc in the actual source of dvd::rip I cannot find a file that looks like a description file.

Edit: I had attempted to install ogmtools as well it completed but is not showing as installed.Double Edit: I found the txz package of ogmtools in the /tmp/vpavkager directory and was able to use installpkg from there.

# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE:# The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description. Line# up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and the '|' on# the right side marks the last column you can put a character in. You must make# exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct. It's also customary to# leave one space after the ':'.

|-----handy-ruler------------------------------------------------------|appname: appname (Short description of the application)appname: <this line is generally left blank>appname: Description of application - this description should be fairlyappname: in-depth; in other words, make it clear what the package does (and appname: maybe include relevant links and/or instructions if there's room),appname: but don't get too verbose. appname: This file can have a maximum of eleven (11) lines of text preceded byappname: the "appname: " designation. appname: License:GPLv2, GPLv3, MIT, BSD, that sort of thing.appname: Authors:appname: Website: Link to apps homepage. Save that somewhere as a template. Then when building just copy it to the directory your building from and make the necessary edits for that package.

If I remember right dvdrip also requires some perl-modules. So be prepared to build a few more dependencies.
